When Xuanqing followed the guiding Immortal to the First Jade Tower, he saw more than ten Immortals suspended in mid-air.
They were all tied up in various fancy ways by Zhenwu's Immortal Binding Rope.
Upon seeing this, Xuanqing was momentarily stunned: "Does White Jade City always play so extravagantly?"
Could it be that even in Primordial there are such strange plays?
The usually serious Xuanqing was shocked by this unconventional scene.
The Ginsengfruit Tree by his side, however, was not at all surprised, seeming as if it had seen this scene before.
It had grown accustomed to this: "That's why I say, the gambling stone Immortal here is the liveliest."
"Indeed, it is lively."
Xuanqing looked around, and other Immortals from the two other Jade Towers, having heard the news, also rushed over to watch the excitement.
"Yo, isn't that Chang Cheng Immortal? You got hung up again?" A voice called out among the Immortals.
The first Immortal to be hung up, dressed in black, did not respond.
Another Immortal then intentionally shouted loudly: "Chang Cheng Immortal must be missing the Immortal Binding Rope of the Turtle and Snake Immortal!"
The black-clad Immortal widened his eyes: "How can you tarnish someone's innocence from nothing!"
"What innocence? Every time I see you, you are hung up by the Turtle Shell Binding, still claiming you don't miss it? Who knows how pleased you are inside right now!"
The black-clad Immortal's face turned red and veins on his forehead burst out; he refused to allow himself to be socially dead like this.
Thus, he argued: "It was forced! How can you talk about missing it when I'm forced?"
"Besides, the gambling stone Immortal definitely has issues, otherwise why would my luck always be so terrible?"
"Buying a Reincarnation Elixir only to have worse luck, does that make sense?"
Then followed a series of incomprehensible remarks, things like "gambling stone scandals," "never coming again," and "if I come again, I'll chop my hand off."
This elicited laughter from all the Immortals around.
For a moment, the atmosphere inside and outside the Jade Tower was filled with joy.
The other Immortals who were hung up shared a similar fate as Chang Cheng Immortal, having also bought Jing Yao's Reincarnation Elixir during their gambling stone sessions.
As a result, their luck was even worse than before, which led them to causing a big scene to vent their frustration.
Then, they were all hung up to experience social death.
Of course, not everyone felt ashamed.
A few Immortals, however, were laughing and teasing the crowd: "Don't just laugh at us, fellow Immortal friends, dare to try your luck inside!"
"Today's Seven Treasures Strange Stone—the gambling stone Immortal definitely tampered with something. We usually have decent luck, but today not a single good relic came out."
They obviously wanted to entice the subsequent Immortals to participate in the gambling stone Immortal's event.
But inevitably there were some Immortals who didn't believe in curses.
"Really? Let's see what tricks the gambling stone Immortal has played, can he really fool our Dharma Eye?"
One by one, a few more Immortals entered the Jade Tower.
"Subhuti, lay out the Seven Treasures Strange Stone!"
The [gambling stone Immortal] had a compassionate expression, holding a Glazed Divine Tree with a light smile welcoming the guests.
But as he waved the Divine Tree into the air, a myriad of scenes flashed brightly, enchantingly beautiful.
Butterflies lingering over clusters of flowers, fish swimming in the Canghai, a glimpse of fireflies dancing in the night sky, and the sight of shooting stars across the sky...
Gradually, gold, silver, glaze, Red Pearl, agates, and other seven kinds of Strange Stones were displayed in front of the Immortals.
"I don't see any problem?"
"Exactly, it seems normal, let me open one to show you."
"Yo, an Innate Geng Gold Sword, nice item!"
"I also got a Pure Colored Glaze Bead, wow! Gambling stone Immortal must have really invested today."
"I was less lucky, only got something as small as a fingernail."
"What thing? Bodhi Seed? Get lost! You dog errand! This Daoist got nothing at all."
The Immortals were noisy and uproarious, either surprised or lamenting, but none were hung up this time.
Xuanqing did not go in right away, but rather, he observed the [gambling stone Immortal] from afar.
He had an insight.
"I was wondering which Divine Tree rooted in the mineral veins it was, it turns out to be one of the Innate Ten Great Spirit Roots, the Seven Treasures Miao Tree."
"Transformed into the Seven Treasures Miao Tree, alias [Subhuti], is Zhunti."
"Eh? That's not right!"
Frowning, Xuanqing took a closer look at the [gambling stone Immortal], the more he looked, the more odd it seemed.
The Divine Tree in the hand was undoubtedly the Seven Treasures Miao Tree, its Origin aura and appearance extremely similar to Zhunti's.
Even Xuanqing, using the Taiyi Divine Arts to calculate, derived the name [Zhunti].
But...
This is Jieyin!
Having seen through the disguise of the [gambling stone Immortal], Xuanqing instantly found it amusing.
Back when he traveled the Western World, he had met both Zhunti and Jieyin.
Back then, both were very naive, comparable to Ming River, always using their Innate True Name when out and about.
Didn't expect to see the "White Lotus" Jieyin Daoist, who not only learned to disguise, but wore two layers of disguise.
But all he wore were his close brothers' disguises.
"Jieyin Daoist used Zhunti's ID, so whose ID is Zhunti using? Did they exchange with each other?"
Xuanqing was almost certain that "Gambling Immortal" was actually Jieyin Daoist.
The way these two brothers played reminded him of the brothers Taiyi and Di Jun on the Sun Star.
In Taiwei Constellation, the disguise "Sun Sun Venerable" was used by these two brothers in turn.
It was like there was a limit on Sun Star.
"One tactic, different plays, these guys really have fun."
After discovering the true identity of "Gambling Immortal", Xuanqing suddenly felt a sense of "my Dao is not alone".
"Hey hey, I say, 'Artifact Refining Immortal', are you going to buy the Reincarnation Pill or not?"
Jing Yao Venerable, the "Alchemy Immortal", seeing that Xuanqing had been standing at his stall for quite some time, thus urged.
He naturally recognized Xuanqing's identity.
But a Daoist couldn't obstruct his selling of elixirs!
Heaven sees how pitiful, his Jing Yao Venerable's elixirs had never been this popular.
This trip to White Jade City was really the right move!
Urged by Jing Yao Venerable, Xuanqing finally squatted down and took a serious look at his stall.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree was chatting with Zhenwu on the side.
"Tortoise-snake Immortal, your techniques have become more professional."
"That's all thanks to the guidance of the Guide Immortal back then; otherwise, how could I have set up a stall on the First Jade Tower?"
"Not at all, I recommended a stall location just because I saw that the Immortal Binding Rope you sold was so unique. Unexpectedly, it has become a spectacle of our White Jade City."
Ginsengfruit Tree mysteriously said to Zhenwu, "You don't know, a lot of immortals from small worlds come to White Jade City just to see this scene."
"There are also some immortals with partners who privately ask me to help purchase some Immortal Binding Ropes."
After hearing this, Zhenwu's eyes lit up: "I will give you a discount, Daoist."
"That's really nice!"
Elsewhere,
Xuanqing picked up a gourd of Golden Core and asked Jing Yao.
"Have you joined White Jade City yet?"
"Of course not." Jing Yao Venerable shook his head: "Hong Jun hasn't agreed to let me try the Primordial Chaos Pill, it's also because I haven't been able to refine it yet."
"That 'Innate Dao Nine Revolutions Undying Primordial Chaos Pill' of yours?"
Xuanqing asked in surprise, "What effects does that pill actually have, that it's taking so long to refine?"
"The effect of Primordial Chaos Pill is, of course, 'achieving Primordial Chaos through Dao' after consumption!"
Jing Yao smacked his lips, "It's just that I'm still lacking some ingredients, and I can't accurately predict the side effects of this elixir."
"So I plan to find some sucker to test it first."
Xuanqing laughed: "You are quite frank."
"After all, who are we to each other."
Jing Yao winked at Xuanqing, "The one who ran into my pill furnace last time, it was you, right?"
"It indeed was me. There was a mishap with using a Spiritual Treasure."
"That's not surprising then." Jing Yao Venerable suddenly realized,
Xuanqing said, "I swiped that pill of yours, and later stumbled upon Xuyao (Ming River), so I just gave it to him."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yao's eyes instantly brightened, and he excitedly said: "How is it, how is it?"
"How's the effect of my elixir?"
Xuanqing considered Ming River's review, thus said: "Ignoring the side effects, the effects are surprisingly good."
"Hey, that's right!"
Jing Yao Venerable selectively ignored the side effects and happily said, "I told you my elixirs are very useful!"
"Then what's with the people who got hung up?"
Daoist Lord Yu Chen (Li Ming) asked, who had just seen immortals buying Jing Yao's Reincarnation Pills, some of whom got hung up, and others whose luck was extremely good.
"This…"
Jing Yao Venerable looked around and, seeing no immortals nearby, he quietly transmitted, "My Reincarnation Pill, its full name is: Yin Yang Balanced Life-Death Impermanence Reincarnation Pill."
"The effect of this elixir is indeed to change fortunes, but I never said it changes them to good fortune! To balance fate, some people eat the elixir and turn into good luck, some eat it and turn into bad luck."
"But this good fortune and bad fortune are a dynamic balance; those who are lucky now might have a bit of misfortune later, such as dying once or something."
"Those who are unlucky now, later they might have a chance to avoid a calamity."
Daoist Lord Yu Chen fell silent for a while after hearing this.
"Why don't you clarify the side effects then?"
"They didn't ask!"
Jing Yao Venerable said with an innocent look, "Each of them was so anxious, they didn't listen to me finish speaking, and rushed in; what could I do?"
